The 54-hour shut down for maintenance work on the B11 bulk supply line of Rand Water has come to end.
According to the MMC for Environment and Infrastructure Services, councillor Nico de Jager, the installation of the butterfly valve on the 2 500mm diameter line has now been completed and recharging of the pipeline has commenced. Nico wishes to thank residents who adhered to the calls to use water sparingly and to save water during this time. This ensured that a complete no-water situation was avoided.
